Pregnant <i>Curly Sue</i> child star weds and lashes out at haters

Alisan Porter, who was only 10 years old when she hit the big time playing the cute-as-a-button homeless heroine of John Hughes' 1991 comedy Curly Sue, has tweeted pictures of her wedding to fellow former child star Brian Autenreith (Brandon Capwell of mid-'80s TV show Santa Barbara).

"We've been friends for 13 years and it's the most incredible feeling to know you're marrying your best friend," the 30-year-old bride told People magazine of her Jewish wedding at a Californian ranch.

Porter, who is expecting a baby boy in July, is over the moon about her wedding and pregnancy, but has defended herself against some people's comments that it's a shotgun wedding.

oh haters..... how visionary you are....drinking while pregnant HAH Sober for almost 5 years, a big cup doesnt equal a DRINK! get a clue

In a 2008 interview, Porter claimed that after the buzz of Curly Sue wore off, so did her desire to do film.

"It is sometimes hard for other people to see me as anything but 'Curly Sue'," she said.

"I ask myself if they know I'm a dancer. A choreographer. A teacher. Do they know I write my own music and play with my own band? Do they know I have struggled with addiction and am now proudly a sober woman? Yes, even I didn't escape the child star curse! To me, all these things make up who I truly am."
